If you remember... you've seen this white A700 / DE701 set before... (they've been here a while)

 

[revvinkevin]

 

 

Then..... right around Thanksgiving this sunny yellow A702 / DE 750 pair arrived... 

 

So what could the newest arrivals be...... hmm... I wonder......

 

[frigilux]

Kevin, did you purchase the $2,000 pink Maytag set we've seen making the rounds on E-bay?!

 

[tomturbomatic]

I see a blush of pink at the far end of the line, like cherry blossoms in the spring.

~ Eugene, oh goodness no... and these are in MUCH better condition and they actually work! 

Also, I could NEVER justify spending that much for a washer & dryer, I have mortgage payments!   LOL

 

~ Tom, how very poetic, I love it!

 

But.... Yes I finally have a PINK Maytag set!  YAY!

Introducing the 1960 142 washer & 641C dryer!   

 

These came from Spokane, WA.   The seller has had them the last 20 years, thinking he would give them to his daughters, however they wanted nothing to do with them.   They are in amazing condition over all and when I plugged the dryer in, it was quiet, perfectly smooth, and heated quickly!   The washer seems to work, but I cannot water test it yet as the hoses need to be replaced.

 

I MUST thank David (D-jones) for letting me know about this set AND bringing them down from Spokane.   Yes you missed the Wash-In... but I think it was worth it!   THANK YOU SO MUCH DAVID!

Dryer interior.   The door seal is pretty dry and crunchy, but mostly in tact.   Anyone know where I can find another?

Washer interior.   The tub is pretty well worn, but look at that lint filter, it looks like it's never been used!

Congrats!

Beautiful! Now you need to get a turquoise pair to make the collection complete! I'm partial to the sunny yellow myself.

 

[turquoisedude]

Great save,  Kevin!  Congratulations!!!   They look fabulous all lit up like that!!

 

You MUST get a turquoise set to complete the look... LOL

You MUST get a turquoise set to complete the look...

 

 

You know Paul and Les... I actually had a 1959 turquoise Maytag pair a couple years ago... but Mr Maytag Man himself, Redcarpetdrew came down and PRIED them out of my hands, taking them back to Reno AGAINST my will!!! 

 

(I think I should be ducking & running right... about.... now......)

Now, THAT is a line-up! I concur, you must repo the turquoise set, or find another.

I love those big, honkin' dryers! You can tell this set was well loved.

WOW NOW PINK

Now you need the Copper-Brown pair and the Turquoise pair, but the hardest pair to find will be the Charcoal Black pair. I know an older retired MT repairman who swears that he saw a MT all push-button pair in black years ago. The color is not in the MT parts lists so it may have been custom made?, this was in the same time period that Frigidaire and Hotpoint offered some version of black.

 

For our collection the brown CA900 and CDE750 will have to be sufficient to demonstrate this period of MT washers and dryers. If you run out of space you could do a pair of multicolored machines by using different colored lids, doors, tops, cabinets and front panels to show what was offered at this time period without filling your whole exhibit space with very average performing machines.
